Thanks Deano we have been in Victoria visiting the son and his family we did it the easy way this trip flew both ways plus a 3 hour coach trip from Melbourne to Sale and back in place of a rail journey as the line had buckled with the heat,we had 2 days on fire watch as a large bushfire threatened the area with 43.5 c the maximum temp,the first time i have seen a 4 jet engined fire bomber at work.
I saw a couple of these Atkinson Shell road trains in the early 70s when in Dunmara area of the NT on the Stuart Hwy pretty impressive they were replaced by Macks at the end of their time,i think they did the hard yards as the Hwy in their time wasn’t the best not like todays super highway.
Cheers Dig
